March 25, 1911—the fire that changed labor law.

Triangle Shirtwaist site is a site in New York, New York. March 25, 1911—the fire that changed labor law. Its accounts name only a collective — the triangle dead. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors.

Triangle is the '11 — the 'March 25' that's the 4:45, the '146' that's the died. The 'locked' is the doors — the 'ninth floor' that's the trapped, the 'fire escape' that's the collapsed. The 'jumped' is the windows — the 'ladders' that's the too short, the 'nets' that's the broke.
The '1909' is the strike — the '20,000' that's the walked, the 'unions' that's the denied. The 'witnesses' is the city — the 'Washington Place' that's the watched, the 'criminal trial' that's the acquitted. Triangle is the reform — the '60 laws' that's the changed, the 'Brown Building' that's the NYU.
The file keeps Triangle: the 1911 fire, the 146 dead, the locked doors, and the labor laws born.
Triangle Shirtwaist is the archive's NYC file — the ninth floor's dead.

A site keeps its windows — the file's suggestion being that Triangle's hold is the jumped: the '146' that's the died, the 'locked' that's the doors, and the 'laws' that's the born.
